AHSAA Approves Officials Card for Admission to Post Season Games
The AHSAA Central Board has approved a proposal that allows officials to attend any post season contest in the sport they are registered as an official. Therefore, all football officials, when not assigned, may attend any playoff game, including the Super 7, by entering at the pass gate with your official’s card. It does not allow you to bring a guest. Violation of this policy will carry AHSAA suspension.
